Takeaway run or book a van?
Some hosts try a takeaway order. Large orders are slow, and the food cools in the bags. A van cooks in front of your residents instead.
For a small group, making your own food can work. For larger numbers, or when you want hot food, a van takes the pressure off, and you get to enjoy the day.
About the food
Gravy
In the north and the Midlands, gravy is the side of choice, and it is lovely with a pie.
Curry sauce
Chip-shop curry sauce is a mild, slightly sweet British classic, perfect with chips or a sausage.

Grimsbury questions
Is Grimsbury close to London?
About 65 miles from central London, and well within our area.
Can the van park in People's Park?
Only if the landowner, generally the council, allows it. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Can you do smaller portions for residents?
We’ll agree portion sizes with your kitchen or care team.
Is the food cooked at the event?
Yes. We fry to order in the van at your venue, then handed over hot from the hatch.
How long are you on site?
It depends on numbers and the service time. We agree arrival, serving and finishing times with you before the day.
Do you clear up afterwards?
We pack up and leave the pitch tidy when service is finished. Let us know about bins for residents.
How fast is service?
Keeping choices simple and sending people up in groups helps. Tell us your timings and we’ll advise.
Does the batter contain gluten?
No, not as standard: batter is typically made with wheat flour. Tell us about any coeliac residents and we’ll explain the options.
Before you choose a spot
A fish and chip van is a vehicle, so the spot matters, and a little planning goes a long way. Here’s what we look for:
- Somewhere residents can reach safely, or see from inside
- A clear way in for the van
- With the serving side away from windows
Not sure about the spot? Send us a photo and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Why fried-to-order beats a buffet
Next to a delivery order, a van serves hot food on site, so it is not lukewarm by the time it’s plated. Most vans have a minimum charge, because the van, fuel and travel cost the same for a small group. We’ll tell you up front.
Why book with us
- The classic sides: peas, curry sauce and gravy
- No kitchen needed
- Something for residents to gather round
